| | A history of income guarantees |
 | | Low income families, lone parents and their dependent children, people older than the pension age requirements, blind pensioners, working people with children, orphans, ex-service personnel over the age of 60 years, and people in some other categories, provided they apply, meet residential requirements, and who meet asset and means limits are guaranteed an income. |
 | | It is clear from the structure of the welfare debate surrounding the introduction of income guarantees in the United States, that the issue of 'dependency' was interpreted in an extraordinarily narrow manner, informed by male orientated views concerning the family, work, morality, and self-help. |
 | | General income guarantees are favoured by those on the left of the political spectrum because they are seen to deliver equal benefits to all in equivalent financial need. |
